TEA IN SICKNESS.

Why is it that those who are sick
and convalescing ask for and relish a
cup Of tea? Why is it again that
physicians will SO often recommend
tea and forbid coffee? Plainly the
answer is: because tea is more
wholesome stimulant, and in this re-
spect excels Coffee But while the
use of tea is extending all over the
country, there is one class of the
community who do not realize the
great advantages it offers, and this is
the very poor, those who may regard
it as luxury, and think they cannot
afford it. That which they cannot
really afford is to do without it, for
did they but know the tea, while
not food in itself, is the greatest as
similator of foods known, for pound
Of beef eaten with tea will 60 as far
to build up the animal economy as
a pound and a-quarter Of beef with
out tea. Again, take HeNo for in
stance as a fair example. Atthe price
at which it is sold it costs actually less
than the milk and sugar used to
sweeten it.
Good tea is the cheapest and best
article of food that the poor man can
buy; its gentle and stimulating
effects will often stop that craving tor
something stronger and which, unlike
tea, may lead to ruin. A workman
welded to the cup that cheers does
better work and more cheerfully than
any other.
According to DR.. Richardson alco-
hol cuts down by disease in England
and Wales alone one thousand per-
sons every week. "What," adds the
doctor, eff any other cause of NOR
tality did the same? What if one
thousand persons in the same area
had died of the bite Of a rabid dog?
What, indeed, would then be the cry
for some action? What would be
the honor to the scientist who would
discover the antidote, the innocula-
ton that would ward off the terrible
scourge?'
Is there such remedy? Is there
even substitute? Humanity the
world over seems to crave for stlm-
ulant. Give, then, to humanity a
stimulant that shall be harmless, nay,
that will be beneficial. The Chinese
found it out two thousand years ago.
1t is TEA; SO simple, so cheering,
so conducive to adj that makes home
a real home. Think of this, mother
and father, who have children around
you. If nature Graves for slim
ulant, satisfy it with stimulant that
nature furnishes, and not the vile ser
pent that man has conjured up for
your destruction.
We have heard of several instances
where people who have been buying
and drinking He-No Tea have COM
planned that they would get a pack
age that was not according to their
liking, and they have written us ask
ing the reason. We think it may be
due to several causes; bad water
often effects tea injuriously; then
grocer may inadvertently get his tea
wet and sell it without noticing the
damage, and, lastly, you may not get
He-No Tea at all. 1t is very slngu~
lar how person will sometimes over
look the most important designation
on the package. the very name, and
Judge at glance by the general ap-
pearance, but if you will see that the
trademark "He-No" and our name
is on every package, and buy from
grocer in whom you have confidence
you will be quite sure of getting
He-No Tea in its original state and
purity. AS for the He-No Tea OF
1887 we are confident it never was SO
good as now. We drink it ourselves
in preference to all others.
